NO GLAMOUR GIRL
GRACIE FIELDS’ DETERMINATION AMiERICANS LIKE LANCASHIRE Gracie Fields, who sailed for America in the Normandie, will not allow Hollywood to turn her into a glamour girl. “I’ve made it clear that they must have me as myself or not at all,” she said. “We have to listen to them talking about dimes and nickels, I told them, so they can blooming well learn what a tanner is! As a matter of fact, most of the Americans to whom I've sung like the broad Lancashire songs best.” While she is in America, Gracie will settle final details of her next Hollywood picture, “Sally of the Shipyards,” which she will make there under Monty Banks’ direction early in the New Year. She has also to make a personal appearance at the New York premiere of her latest English film, “Keep Smiling.”
“You Can’t Take If With You" has at last closed on Broadway, New York, after a run of 103 weeks, for which the total gross is estimated at £246,000. The English production ran for only eleven performances.
